"Hey, dad, it's me: your favorite son." Is so bittersweet and somehow haunting to me, every time.

This is my favorite retrospective of yours so far. You always put quality and passion into them but, its clear you put alot of time into researching it.

Your videos have a special, unique style. Always very appealing and high class produced. Very impressive, well done Son!

Gotta admit, this game is what got me into writing. Now I ow it a lot, and this analysis just made me remember once again the love I have for it. Got lucky since I got my hands in the collector's edition, which includes additional material, and even the book called The Alan Wake Files (I am translating the title because I got the Spanish version of it. Great translation work done to it by the way). Anyways, thank you for making such beautiful video. Greetings from México.

My own son turns 14 in a month and I’m preparing to share with him my favorite video game, Alan Wake. Thank you for your video!

Alan Wake has one of my favourite moments of storytelling: the song "Poet and the Muse". A song - created by a real band knowing the meaning of the song but acting as a band in a video game that wrote that song without understanding its actual meaning - that tells the story of what happened once and happened again but also tells you what you have to do.... but you won't understand that until you're actually in the situation the song describes. Absolutely fantastic

great video. very much hoping to see you cover Control at some point. the connections between the two are so interesting, especially the parallels between the clicker and the light switch cord, and its adherence to the rule of three as seen in American Nightmare, as well as the parallel between Alan Wake's shoe box, and the shoe box used in Casper Darling's interdimensional research.

Hey son,
I never got far enough in Alan Wake to give it a fair chance. At the time I just couldn't get into nor did I care for the whole flashlight/combat mechanic. I'm willing to give this another try because of you, son.
You did a great video too!

Son, you make me so proud. The effort,the quality, everything is just so clean. I love the content, always have. I cant wait to see what else you tackle.

Man I discovered your channel with the fable series and I gotta say that the quality of the narrative you deliver with your videos are amazing, you can feel the passion. Keep the good work I’m looking forward to see this channel grow

Been waiting patiently for this one
You never disappoint, son 👍

Such a in-depth and well written video. I highly appreciate your long form videos. You can definitely feel the passion you have for the games you cover for your videos.
This is also a fairly great way to get caught up if you want a refresher in prep for Alan Wake 2, minus some extra stuff released with the AWE dlc from CONTROL.

As to the "what is Lynchian?" question, I'm no expert or anything, but in my opinion, it's using Lynch's unique method of using characters or places or things to represent abstract ideas.
For example, Dale Cooper representing the benevolent viewers who want to get lost in a mystery while trying to solve a murder. He even uses colors to represent concepts like truth and secrecy. That, to me, encapsulates what Lynchian is and even though he's probably not the first to use such methods, he does so consistently and fearlessly in all his works.

Watching your series are like sitting near a lake, far from human kind, were time stands still and you can breathe for a while., so thankyou , in todays crazy paced world, its much appreciated.

Son, I must thank you for mentioning the music in this video. I had completely forgotten about The Poet and The Muse, but I did remember that I liked it a lot when I played this game in my youth. Sure enough, 60 listens later I still cannot get enough of it.

Me and my friend still quote, "And then I heard that chainsaw" whenever shit is about to hit the fan 😆.
I played Alan Wake on release and it has stayed with me ever since. The music at the end of each episode hits so hard. A real masterpiece of a game. It wasn't what people were expecting to want, and its depth will only appeal to a niche, more thoughtful audience. But its a solid game even if you overlook the depth.
